Missfox- it looks like your LO has dropped!

 

[MissFox]

She feels so much lower!!! I'm in so much pain when moving from standing to sitting! Bitchy midwife yesterday said her head wasn't low at all and the sonographer right before told me she couldn't get head measurments without doing a transvag so she's floating but down most of the time.

MissFox- any baby news?

 

[MissFox]

Nope. I've been getting about one contraction an hour all day and they aren't painful anymore- I've had a couple painful ones but not really. I've got the most painful farts but that's about it lol. Feeling really discouraged.

 

[lisaf]

grr.. are you doing lots of walking around?

 

[MissFox]

yup. I have done everything I have been told to. I'm really feeling down about it.

 

[lisaf]

when are they inducing?

 

[MissFox]

I go in Sunday night at 5:30 for cervidil and they will start pitocin at 5 or 6am Monday morning. I want to beat it so bad but at the same time I give up- iykwim. I am scared of induction and things not going right and my body not doing it because it's been trying on it's own for so long but just wont do it.

 

[heyyady]

Aww, hon, it sounds like you're going to have one stubborn little girl on your hands! lol

 

[MissFox]

Apparently I should have let her come when she tried a few weeks ago! Well- I'm on painful contraction 3 since 11... COMMON BABY GIRL!

 

[heyyady]

Walk around your house- get it moving- and if possible keep walking through the contractions-

 

[RosieCheeks]

Good luck Ms Fox!!

 

[MissFox]

They stopped hurtng once I got moving. Then they slowed down. FML.
thanks girls

 

[DarlingMe]

Missfox I think they are Braxton hicks if they stop when u are up and moving!

 

[MissFox]

They don't go away. They slow down. I haven't gone more than an hour without one since Monday afternoon.
Getting ready to go out for a fun day with my mom though! Gonna go to the farmer's market and a nice long walk! HOpe the weather is nice today.

You can refuse induction, you know. I'm just saying... if the baby is fine and you are fine, you don't have to let them tell you how it is. What is their reason behind induction? My first baby came 6 days late with no talk of induction at all. He was 9 pounds, 4 ounces and perfect. So, they may get a bit bigger when late, but unless there is a medical issue or it's going on 2 weeks overdue, then I don't really understand induction for anything less than a real medical issue (which I hope you don't have).

I hope that comes across okay... I just remember feeling like the medical people in my first pregnancy/birth/delivery treated me a bit like I didn't know anything and I felt bossed around. I have no idea if that's how you're feeling or not. Good luck, regardless, you'll end up with a beautiful baby in your arms.

They say relaxing a helps, so hopefully a nice day at the farmers market will help things along.

 

[heyyady]

MissFox- it's a gorgeous day for a farmers market! At least it is in Sonoma County- I can't imagine Humbolt is too much different! Forget about the pains for a while- get out and enjoy your day

 

[lisaf]

gorgeous day here too! Hope things pick up a bit! Bounce on that birthing ball too if you have one.

 

[MissFox]

Thanks girls!!
They want to induce because my AFI is low and because of my hip and back problems- they were letting me wait bc I wanyted to for the hips but when the ultra sound showed low fluid levels they wanted to schedule me to be induced since we live so far from the hospital now.
